Eight-stage process to implement change in an organization

/in /by

On pages 20-22, Kotter (2012) identified an eight-stage process to implement change in an organization. The steps are: establishing a sense of urgency, creating the guiding coalition, developing a vision and strategy, communicating the change vision, empowering a broad base of people to take action, generating short-term wins, consolidating gains and producing even more change, and institutionalizing new approaches in the culture.
